Website: http://www.ihmmsec.org/ Paper Submission Deadline: January 25, 2013 ====================================================================== ====================================================================== SPECIAL SESSIONS: - "From Biometric to Forensics", chaired by Chang-Tsun Li and Massimo Tistarelli. - "End User and Signal Processing: a successful synergy towards the assessment of forensic tools", chaired by Marco Carli. - "Media encryption", chaired by Andreas Uhl. - "Moving steganography and steganalysis from the laboratory to the real world", chaired by Andrew Ker. ====================================================================== Information Hiding (aka. IH) was created in 1996 and focused on digital watermarking, steganography and steganalysis, anonymity and privacy, hard to intercept communications and covert/subliminal channels. ACM Workshop on Multimedia and Security (aka. ACM MMSec) was initiated in 1998 and focused on data hiding, robust/perceptual hash, biometrics, video surveillance, and multimedia forensics. Year after year, the two communities grew closer and the overlap between their respective scope got bigger. As a result, after 14 successful editions each, IH and ACM MMSec decided to merge in a single event. The 1st ACM Information Hiding and Multimedia Security Workshop (IH&MMSec) will be held at the University of Montpellier II, in southern France, on June 17-19, 2013. You are invited to submit a short or a full paper. Topics include but are not limited to: Integrity verification of digital content Source device identification and linking Multimedia watermarking, fingerprinting and identification Multimedia network protection, privacy and security Multimedia authentication and encryption Signal Processing in the Encrypted Domain Steganography and steganalysis Biometrics Application of smart cards and ID cards Secure multimedia system design and protocol security Security evaluation and benchmarks Emerging applications Privacy, policy and legal issues as well as their interaction with technological development IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: January 25, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: April 2, 2013 Camera-ready papers: May 4, 2013 CONTACT: Inquiries should be sent to: organizers@ihmmsec.org General Chair William Puech, LIRMM / University of Montpellier, France Program Chairs Marc Chaumont, LIRMM / University of Nξmes, France Jana Dittmann, Otto-von-Guericke University, Germany Patrizio Campisi, University of Roma TRE, Roma, Italy Industrial Liaisons Gwenaλl Doλrr, Technicolor, France International Liaisons Teddy Furon, CNRS, France Steering Committee Stefan Katzenbeisser, TU Darmstadt, Germany Jana Dittmann, Otto-von-Guericke University, Germany Jessica Fridrich, SUNY Binghamton, USA George Danezis, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Patrizio Campisi, University of Roma TRE, Italy Balakrishnan Prabhakaran, University of Dallas, USA http://www.ihmmsec.org/
